Great looking wheels!! How much do they weight?

RL1924 · 08-05-2008, 02:57 PM

Im not really sure my guess is more then the BBS but i just cant afford them which sucks but there not bad looking and the price is right 1400 with tires, so may have to gain some weight for the loss of price

nice wheels but I'm glad I don't have to keep them clean (that's a lot of spokes)

Before you commit go to this site. I have bought wheels and tires from them and had no problems. Also the prices are very competitive.

I agree 4000 for a set of rims is a little too much. I like that they are not too outrageous.

gomarlins3 · 08-05-2008, 05:29 PM

I like those wheels.

RL1924 · 08-05-2008, 05:32 PM

Now as long as a few of my other toys sell i can afford them

BBS LM's are heavy RGR's are a much better choice.

You asked so I will be honest. They are a little to "Bling" and busy in my opinion. Also, what is the offset? Is it compatible with the S2000? if they are 18's and the offset is to aggressive you will burn up your rear wheel bearings which run around $700.00 to replace (I think) Vinny what did it cost you for your rear bearings?

RL1924 · 08-05-2008, 11:02 PM

offsets are 48 and 45

For the front:
205 tires: +43 offset minimum (6.5” to 7.5” wide wheel)
215 tires: +48 offset minimum (7.0” to 8.0” wide wheel)
225 tires: +53 offset minimum (7.0” to 8.0” wide wheel)
235 tires: +58 offset minimum (7.5” to 8.5” wide wheel)
245 tires: +63 offset minimum (7.5” to 8.5” wide wheel)

For the rear:
235 tires: +40 offset minimum (7.5” to 8.5” wide wheel)
245 tires: +45 offset minimum (7.5” to 9.0” wide wheel)
255 tires: +50 offset minimum (8.0” to 9.5” wide wheel)
265 tires: +55 offset minimum (8.5” to 9.5” wide wheel)
275 tires: +60 offset minimum (9.0” to 10.0” wide wheel)
285 tires: +65 offset minimum (9.0” to 10.0” wide wheel)

Works out according to this.. but yes i did ask for opinion

Little photoshop before I make the purchase

Tirerack sells BBS wheels you can see exactly if they will fit or not and call them for if you have any questions.
